Analysis of Tuned Liquid Damper for Controlling the Vibrations in Rigid Frame Structures

Abstract

Current construction sector trends call for taller, light-weight structures that are also more adaptable and have a low damping value. This rises the probability of failure and creates issues in terms of workability. There are many other technologies developed today to reduce structure vibration, with the notion of using TLD being a newly developed one. The motive of this investigation was to obtain the efficacy of using TLD to control structural vibration. The sloshing form of tune liquid dampers is the aim of the research.Within the TLD, water is considered a fluid or liquid. Here on justification of shallow water wave theory, a harmonic framework of TLD applied to horizontal movement is suggested, with the structural behaviour believed to be linear. TLD characteristics under aligned to base excitation are explored using a mathematical code that has been established. The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of TLD to regulate the vibration of building structures under varying actions.Experiments on liquid damping, a key values of the TLD, along with mass ratio, depth ratio, as well as percentage deduction in dislocation with differing frequency responses, are introduced. The obtained measurements and numerical simulation are used to explain the characteristics of TLD.
